Bedrock Wine Co. was founded by Morgan Twain-Peterson in 2007 and focuses on small production wines from many of California’ s most treasured and historic vineyards. The lineup of wines at Bedrock is expanding rapidly, but I think the best of the best are the ancient vineyard Zinfandels, Morgan is clearly passionate about.
Evangelho Vineyard is in Contra Costa County, south of the San Joaquin-Sacramento Delta and east of Mount Diablo. The vineyard is planted with a number of different varieties and dates back to the early 1900’s.
Crimson in color. 14.5% ABV. Charming nose of red fruits, citrus, baking spices and flowers. Medium body with medium acidity. Really light and earthy. Strawberry, cranberry, blood orange and earth on the palate. The finish is warm and supple. Delicious and easy to drink but not a Bedrock for long term cellaring. Best over the next 2-3 years.
My rating: 91 points.
The mailing list at Bedrock is highly recommended. Exceptional wines, fair prices and great customer service. Put your name on the waiting list.
